I started my first garden today, my first ever garden in fact.
Bucket Size - 5 gallon
Medium - hydro / hydroton
Lights - (4) 40w 6500k T-12
Strain(s) - Agent Orange
# of Plants: 4

I decided to start in Hydro because I live in a very cramped California house and outdoor space is very limited and can attract unwanted attention also soil is dirty. Instead I have decided to use my bedroom as a grow room. Here is the setup, including prices of what I have built so far.

4 Air Stones 6" Block (Local Department Store) $16
8 Buckets w/ 4 lids (Lowes) $36
4 Net Cup 6" (Local Hydro Shop) $5
Hydroton 50L (Local Hydro Shop) $29 [this was the smallest bag they had, anyone in San Jose need some?]
Nutrients:
